Chapter 87 Danielle is in trouble
Chapter 87 Danielle is in trouble
Holy crap! Is this "nigger" the Terminator?
Li Wei cursed inwardly, then shakily turned over and raised his gun again.
Then he noticed that the black man didn't press his advantage, but instead ran straight down the stairs from the rooftop, leaving him with only his back view.
He's reached his limit!
Li Wei instantly understood, biting his lip until it bled to keep himself awake, while trying to steady his trembling hands.
With great effort, the wobbly muzzle of the gun finally aimed at Samuel's back.
"Click!"
Li Wei pulled the trigger, but heard no gunshot, only the impact of an empty magazine.
Damn it! Out of bullets!
Li Wei couldn't even roll over and crawl to pick up the magazine; he could only watch helplessly as the dark figure disappeared from sight.
Fuck!
Li Wei wanted to curse, but worried about attracting Samuel's attention, so he swallowed the word back.
Soon, Li Wei, who was lying on the edge of the rooftop, heard the sound of a car starting. Then, a black Audi RS7 sped away.
If only we had a rocket launcher or a loitering munition at this moment...
Li Wei couldn't help but think this way, but he could only think about it.
As the Audi RS7 disappeared from sight, Li Wei's already battered body began to ache even more.
But this is a good thing, indicating that his injuries are improving and his senses are returning.
A few minutes later, Li Wei tried to move his finger.
It went very smoothly, no problems.
So he got up.
This action was also successfully completed.
"Huff... huff... huff..."
Li Wei was breathing heavily, his mind replaying the guy he had just fought.
Inhuman strength, speed, explosive power, and regenerative abilities...
Dealing with this kind of guy is like going up against a "supervillain" in a movie.
Moreover, based on the conversations I overheard, this "monster" is actually mass-produced.
The Revival Society is the "manufacturer" of this monster.
With these thoughts in mind, Li Wei couldn't help but complain a few times.
"System, where have you been?! Why didn't you issue a task earlier?"
However, nothing came to mind.
Although we have figured out many patterns in the system, there are still some things that are unclear.
For example, what exactly is the benchmark for the system to issue tasks?
However, before Li Wei could figure it out, his phone suddenly rang.
Li Wei raised his hand and moved it around. Although it was still a little shaky, he could still borrow a phone without any problem.
He took his phone out of his pocket and found that it was badly scratched from the struggle, with the screen even shattered, just like his whole body, covered in wounds.
However, just as if he were still alive, although liquid had seeped out of the phone's LCD screen, the screen was not damaged and clearly displayed the note "old woman," and it was vibrating quite vigorously.
Slide the answer button, and Tessa's voice immediately came through the receiver.
"Li Wei, something's happened to Danielle."
Tessa's words were concise, but Levi frowned.
"Wesker and his team failed to protect her?"
"Hey! How the hell can you blame me! That girl disobeyed orders and ran off, and ended up getting caught by Alex Damon's men!"
Wesker's defiant voice immediately rang out.
Li Wei's attention, however, was drawn to the unfamiliar name mentioned in the conversation.
"Alex Damon?"
Li Wei couldn't help but repeat the name over and over.
At that moment, Thomas's voice also came through.
"Alex Damon, Matt Damon's illegitimate son."
"He has now been added to the list as a new candidate."
Li Wei frowned.
"A Miami mayoral candidate kidnapping an active-duty police officer during his campaign? What kind of idiot is this?"
However, Thomas appeared to take the phone from Tessa and refuted Levi's statement.
"No, quite the opposite, he's very smart."
"It was Matt Damon and his private army who came forward, but I deduce that Alex Damon was the one who really orchestrated this."
Why?
Li Wei asked the crucial question.
"Because the other party left a message—'Give my regards to Thomas and Levi.'"
"It's not surprising that Matt Damon knows me, after all, I'm his rival, and I've even taken action against him before."
"But he shouldn't know about you."
"You never showed your face in public, remember?"
Li Wei's brows did not unfurrow; instead, a sense of confusion settled over him.
"I still don't understand. Isn't it a bit presumptuous of you to conclude that the mastermind is some kind of Alex Damon based on just this? Of course, I'm not questioning you, I just can't figure it out."
Thomas did not answer directly, but instead asked a question in return.
"Guess who introduced Matt Damon to the Revival Society, making him a full member?"
That unfamiliar name uncontrollably surfaced in Li Wei's mind, but...
"Alex Damon? Does that make sense?"
"It would be unreasonable if Alex Damon was recruited into the Restoration Society by its current president, Solomon Chambers."
"After all, that old fogey still firmly believes in the theory of bloodline."
Thomas said, then suddenly took a deep breath.
"But if it's Lawrence Chambers, then it makes perfect sense."
"Moreover, they had a pretty good relationship back when they were studying at Yale."
"So, if it was that bastard Lawrence who recruited Alex into the Revival Society, then it's not just reasonable, it's perfectly justified."
Li Wei paused for a moment, but then quickly grasped the key point of another question.
"Wait a minute! You guys were college classmates? Why haven't you ever mentioned it before?!"
Thomas fell silent, seemingly trying to recall whether he had actually said it.
About ten seconds later, Thomas apologized.
"Um...sorry, I forgot."
However, Li Wei didn't dwell on it too much, because there was no point in worrying about it now.
Moreover, it can be considered a good thing.
At least, Thomas could help him learn more about that bastard Lawrence Chambers.
"Alright, let's get to the important thing first—what was that idiot Alex Damon's purpose in kidnapping Danielle? He couldn't have done it without making any demands, could he?"
Thomas remained silent for a while, and only spoke when Levi was losing patience and about to urge him.
"The other party said they want to have lunch with you and me at nine o'clock tomorrow morning."
Li Wei was stunned.
After a long pause, he couldn't help but ask a question in return.
"Does Alex Damon have some kind of mental illness?"
However, Thomas gave a somewhat irrelevant answer.
"Li Wei, if you were to take a private jet from Washington to Miami right now... that would take about this much time."
Lawrence Chambers!
He's coming back!
Li Wei wasn't sure if his idea was right, but he couldn't help thinking it...
